Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3(a) and (b) – Ratification of prior issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares
6.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.2 above.
Resolution 3(a) and (b) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
6.2 Listing Rules 7.1, 7.1A and 7.4
A summary of Listing Rule 7.1 is set out in Section 4.2 above.
Under Listing Rule 7.1A, an eligible entity can seek approval from its members, by way of a
Page 15
special resolution passed at its annual general meeting, to increase this 15% limit by an extra 10% to 25%. The Company obtained this approval at its 2025 annual general meeting held on 27 November 2025.
The issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fit within any of the exceptions to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A and, as it has not yet been approved by Shareholders, effectively uses up part of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A. This reduces the Company’s capacity to issue further Equity Securities without Shareholder approval under those Listing Rules for the 12-month period following the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. It provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 3(a) and (b) will be to allow the Company to retain the flexibility to issue Equity Securities in the future up to the 15% placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1 and 10% additional placement capacity set out in Listing Rule 7.1A, without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.
If Resolution 3(a) is passed, 139,240,196 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 3(a) is not passed, 139,240,196 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 139,240,196 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares.
If Resolution 3(b) is passed, 92,826,797 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 10% limit in Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively increasing the number of Equity Securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12-month period following the issue date.
If Resolution 3(b) is not passed, 92,826,797 Tranche 1 Placement Shares will continue to be included in the Company’s 10% limit under Listing Rule 7.1A, effectively decreasing the number of Equity Securities the Company can issue or agree to issue without obtaining prior Shareholder approval, to the extent of 92,826,797 Equity Securities for the 12-month period following the issue of those Tranche 1 Placement Shares (and assuming the Company’s approval under Listing Rule 7.1A remains in force for this period).

In addition, the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of

8. Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) – Approval to issue Director Placement Shares
8.1 General
The background to the Placement, including the proposed issue of Director Placement Shares is set out in Section 3.2 above.
Each of the Directors, being Raymond Shorrocks, Russel Curtin, Didier Murcia and Duncan Grieve, wish to participate in the Placement to the extent of subscribing for up to an aggregate 5,000,000 Director Placement Shares to raise $275,000 (before costs) in the following proportions:
| Director | Amount committed to the Placement ($) |
Director Placement Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Raymond Shorrocks | $200,000 | 3,636,364 |
| Russell Curtin | $40,000 | 727,273 |
| Didier Murcia | $25,000 | 454,545 |
| Duncan Grieve | $10,000 | 181,818 |
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) seek the approval of Shareholders pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Director Placement Shares in the proportions set out above.
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not Transaction Resolutions, however they are conditional on Shareholders passing each of the Transaction Resolutions.
8.1
Listing Rule 10.11
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue Equity Securities to any of the following persons without the approval of Shareholders:
-
(a) a related party (Listing Rule 10.11.1);
-
(b) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (30%+) in the company (Listing Rule 10.11.2);
-
(c) a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial holder (10%+) in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so (Listing Rule 10.11.3);
-
(d) an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3 (Listing Rule 10.11.4); or
-
(e) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 or 10.11.4 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders (Listing Rule 10.11.5).
The Directors are related parties of the Company by virtue of being directors of the Company.
Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 10.11 is therefore required unless an exception
Page 19
applies. It is the view of the Board that the exceptions set out in Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances.
Approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1 is not required for the issue of the Director Placement Shares as approval is being obtained under Listing Rule 10.11. Accordingly, the issue of these Director Placement Shares to the Directors (or their respective nominee/s) will not be included in the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.
The effect of Shareholders passing Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) will be to allow the Company to issue the Director Placement Shares, raising $275,000 (before costs) under the Tranche 2 of the Placement.
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are conditional on Shareholders passing each of the Transaction Resolutions. If any of the Transaction Resolutions is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Director Placement Shares under Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive).
If any of Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the relevant Director Placement Shares for which approval was not obtained and instead, the amount committed by the relevant Director will be raised by the issue of the relevant number of Tranche 2 Placement Shares to the Tranche 2 Placement Participants (subject to the passing of Resolution 4).
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are not conditional on each other, and Shareholders may approve one or all of these Resolutions (in which case, the Director Placement Shares the subject of the approved Resolution(s) will be issued), even though Shareholders have not approved all of these Resolutions.
8.2
Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13
Pursuant to and in accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares:
-
(a) The Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 8.1.
-
(b) The Directors fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.1. In the event the Director Placement Shares are issued to a nominee of the Directors, that nominee will fall into the category stipulated by Listing Rule 10.11.4.
-
(c) A maximum of 5,000,000 Director Placement Shares will be issued to the Directors (or their respective nominees), in the proportions set out in Section 8.1.
-
(d) The Director Placement Shares will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue.
-
(e) The Director Placement Shares will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the Meeting.
-
(f) The Director Placement Shares will be issued at a price of $0.055 each, being the same as those Placement Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement.
-
(g) A summary of the intended use of funds raised from the Placement is set out in Section 3.2 above.
-
(h) The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares is not intended to remunerate or incentivise the Directors.
Page 20
-
(i) There are no other material terms to the proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares.
-
(j) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
8.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
In accordance with Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act, in order to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must:
-
(a) obtain Shareholder approval in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act;
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of the Director Placement Shares constitutes giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company.
The Board considers that Shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act is not required in respect of the issue of the Director Placement Shares because the Director Placement Shares will be issued on the same terms as those Shares issued to non-related party participants in the Placement and as such the giving of the financial benefit is on arm’s length terms.
8.4 Additional information
Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) are each separate ordinary resolutions.
The Board declines to make a recommendation in relation to Resolution 5(a) to (d) (inclusive) due to each of the Directors’ personal interests in the outcome of the Resolutions.
9. Resolution 6 – Consolidation of capital
9.1 General
Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake the Consolidation of its issued capital on a 12 to 1 basis.
Resolution 6 is not a Transaction Resolution, however it is conditional on Shareholders passing each of the Transaction Resolutions.
9.2
Legal requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed in a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
Listing Rule 7.20 provides that where an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must tell Equity Security holders:
-
(a) the effect of the proposal on the number of Securities and the amount unpaid (if any) on the Securities;
-
(b) the proposed treatment of any fractional entitlements; and
Page 21
(c) the proposed treatment of any Convertible Securities on issue.
Listing Rule 7.21 provides that a listed entity which has Convertible Securities (except Options which are dealt with under Listing Rule 7.22) on issue may only reorganise its capital if, in respect of the Convertible Securities, the number of its Convertible Securities or the conversion price, or both, is reorganised so that the holder of the Convertible Securities will not receive a benefit that holders of ordinary Securities do not receive.
Listing Rule 7.22.1 requires that when a listed entity undertakes a consolidation of capital, the number of its Options must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. If Resolution 6 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Consolidation and the number of Securities on issue is anticipated to be adjusted as follows, based on the Securities on issue at the date of this Notice (including the Tranche 1 Placement Shares) (in each case, subject to rounding up):
| Security | Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 1,160,334,969 | 96,694,581 |
| Options | 15,000,000 | 1,250,000 |
| Performance Rights | 299,650,000 | 24,970,834 |
The Consideration Shares, Consideration Performance Rights, Tranche 2 Placement Shares and Director Placement Shares will be issued on a post-Consolidation basis. This means that the numbers of these Securities provided in this Notice will be divided by 12 (with fractions rounded up).
If any of the Transaction Resolutions is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Consolidation. If Resolution 6 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Consolidation but may still be able to complete the Transaction.
9.3
Fractional entitlements
Not all Shareholders will hold that number of Securities (Shares, Options or Performance Rights, as the case may be) which can be evenly divided based on a 12 to 1 ratio. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the Company will round that fraction up to the nearest whole Security (Shares, Options or Performance Rights, as applicable).
9.4
Taxation
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for Shareholders arising from the Consolidation. However, Shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and the Company accepts no responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
9.5
Holding statements
From the date of the Consolidation, all holding statements for Securities will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Securities on a postConsolidation basis. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Securities to be issued to holders of those Securities. It is the responsibility of each Shareholders to check the number of Securities held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
Page 22
9.6 Effect on capital structure
The approximate effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company’s current capital structure is set out in the tables below. All numbers are subject to rounding.
(a) Shares
| Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares currently on issue | 1,160,334,969 | 96,694,581 |
(b) Options

(c) Performance Rights
| Pre-Consolidation | Post-Consolidation | |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Rights currently on issue |
299,650,000 | 24,970,834 |
